Eric Pernie did an outstanding job representing my son after he received a serious speeding ticket. My son was extremely nervous about the situation, but Eric’s communication was excellent from beginning to end. He patiently answered every question, clearly explained what to expect, and always knew how to put my son’s mind at ease. Most importantly, Eric achieved an incredible result. We could not have asked for a better outcome or a better attorney to guide us through the process. Eric is knowledgeable, responsive, reassuring, and genuinely cares about his clients. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney they can trust.Posted on Google![]()

Eric Pernie represented me after I received a major speeding ticket, and I was extremely nervous about what could happen. Eric made the entire situation much less stressful. Whenever I had a question or needed reassurance, he responded clearly, explained everything, and put my mind at ease. He was able to get my speeding ticket reduced all the way down to double parking, which was an incredible outcome. I’m very grateful for his help, communication, and professionalism. If you need a lawyer who knows what he’s doing and will be there when you need answers, I highly recommend Eric Pernie.Posted on Google![]()

Five stars, hands down. I came in stressed and unsure what to expect, and Matt Fraiberg made the whole process feel manageable, especially during an incredibly stressful time. He was responsive, clear about what was happening at every step, and genuinely made me feel taken care of. He knew exactly how to handle things and put me at ease when I needed it most. If you’re looking for someone who’s professional, knowledgeable, and actually has your back, I can’t recommend him enough. Thank you for everything!Posted on Google![]()
